RiEGL RiSCAN Pro is used to construct co-registered and georeferenced
point clouds from raw TLS individual scan data aquired across any given
plot (typically comprising 242 scans per ha), and then export them in
the desired format. This first section focuses on defining the correct
project settings, including correct coordinate systems, as well as the
initial import and unpacking of the data.
Notes:
i) the following is based on RIEGL RiSCAN Pro v2.19
1. Copy the .PROJ folder on a HD from the computer (it is
better to not work on an external HD or cloud storage)
2. New project
Open RiScanPro. Create a new
project in the same folder as where the .PROJ folder is: New project →
give it same name as .PROJ
3. Coordinate Reference Systems
Edit→
Attributes… → Coordinate Reference Systems
* Database file: *
[database created in previous step].gsfx * Import: * CRS: ITRF2014 /
Geographic * Datum Transformation: none * RiPROCESS GLCS: * GCRS:
ITRF2014 / Geocentric * Export: * Datum Transformation: ITRF2014
<> WGS84 * CRS: WGS 84 / relevant UTM zone (e.g., WGS 84 / UTM
zone 19S)
Note:
This error occurs when doing the above CRS settings (see screenshots
below too):
4. Import raw TLS data 1. Help → Wizard
‘Download and Convert’ → Select associated .PROJ 2. Coordinate
Reference Systems → Confirm above settings are correct 3.
Reflector Estimation Settings → Ignore 4. Integrate 4.
Check the boxes “import images” and “convert all scans on
import”
